Final Thoughts
I bought and sold a lot for April because it was a good opportunity. Some of the stocks that I’ve been wanting to buy was cheaper to own now. In my last update, I wanted ABBV to go down $160, and it went far below that.
I could’ve waited for some of the new stocks to go down further, but it was okay since I finally started a position with them, and I can DCA my way to a bigger one.
This change is obviously going to affect my dividend calendar again, but that’s how this game is going to be. I’ll simply keep on adjusting and aim that my dividends grow.
At this point, I don’t bother myself too much with what’s happening in the market. If the prices go down further, I can simply use that opportunity to buy more (funds permitting), and increase my positions.
This month, I don’t see myself doing anything aggressive at all unlike April. I’ll just check my portfolio from time to time and focus on other revenue generating streams.
